Chapter 406: Heaven-Connecting
Xiao Jiuli stood at the edge of the clouds, his plain white robe gently fluttering in the wind.
Hearing this, he laughed heartily, the sound echoing up and down the Sword Pavilion, "What a fine 'bringing my disciple to gain some experience'! Luo Zhixian, your method of testing swords hasn't changed in decades. Do you think my sword guardians have made no progress over these years?"
Luo Zhixian looked up toward the clouds, his sleeves not moving a thread in the fierce wind, saying flatly, "Your sword domain is still quite useful."
He spoke calmly, yet made countless sword cultivators below exchange glances.
Luo Zhixian's words clearly had deeper meaning.
Xiao Jiuli understood. He lowered his eyes to glance at Chen Qing holding his spear.
"Very well, since you've already 'tested' them, please come up."
As his words fell, he turned and took ethereal steps through the air, floating gracefully toward the Sword Pavilion's top level.
At the same time, the sword guardians from the ninety-first to ninety-ninth levels who had been ready to strike all simultaneously sheathed their swords, stepped aside to clear the path, and bowed to Luo Zhixian and Chen Qing.
